DISABLED TEXANS TAKE HISTORY TO SWEDISH QUEEN
HOUSTON, TEXAS-Three disabled Texans representing the Coalition of Texans
with Disabilities will present Her Majesty, Queen Silvia of Sweden, with an
historical Swedish document dating from the year 1652. The presentation will
occur in Stockhom at the Royal Palace on September 25, 1984.
Bearing the seal and signature of Queen Christina, one of the most renowned
Swedish monarchs, the three century old document was donated for this occasion
by a Texan who is himself disabled. The anonymous donor intends for the gift to
symbolize the common struggle for independence by disabled people around the
world.
Like the United States, the Swedish people and their government have made
great progress to insure equality and provide independent living opportunities
for disabled people. Following the presentation, Queen Silvia and
representatives of organizations of disabled people in Sweden will meet with the
disabled Texans to discuss issues of common concern and plans for future
cooperative efforts to resolve problems facing disabled people internationally.
